We are often afraid of bright and positive colors in furniture. However, we must remember that colors can create a certain mood and influence the perception of an object. Therefore, designers recommend choosing bold shades for the interior in 2022.
After what happened in 2022, it is necessary to add more colors to restore internal energy and harmony. Additionally, other movements have been developed for people who miss peace and tranquility. The sofa is not just part of the interior, but most often the central part of the living room. You can find out about all the new sofa products for 2022 below.
Brief overview of the article
Fashionable sofa
A sofa is irreplaceable furniture, it occupies the main position in the room, serves to receive guests and relax, so the main qualities that it should have are convenience and functionality, and it is best if they are combined.
In the past decade, design solutions aimed at minimalism and simplicity of form creation were very often used, however, sofas in 2022 presented by well-known manufacturers and having an unusual appearance have forecasts for future popularity.
Modern sofas must meet the following requirements:
- velor upholstery;
- the color should be inspired by nature;
- Sharp outlines must be avoided.
Comfortable use
The versatility of sofas is an undeniable advantage that is preserved in modern models. They must have a convenient storage system. This possibility is especially relevant for sofas that are used as a sleeping place. For the day, bed linen, blankets, and pillows go into a drawer under the seat. Before going to bed, they are taken out and tucked into the bed.
The characteristics of the sleeping place are important. In modern sofas it must meet orthopedic requirements. After a night's sleep on such beds there is no pain or stiffness.
The trends for 2022 are set by modular structures. This is the most practical and functional type of furniture, allowing you to build the interior in accordance with your capabilities and desires.
As for the style, the trend is Mediterranean, rustic, loft, neoclassical, eco-style. So the choice is quite extensive for people with different tastes and needs.

Popular colors
Currently, preference is given to colors closer to natural tones, for example: gray, blue, sage, pink.
In the case of selecting a sofa to emphasize a certain image of the created interior, colors of dark blue, burgundy, purple, mustard and dark green are recommended; a coral-pink background is also often used.
Velvet - trendy coating
The design of sofas in 2022 gives preference to a velvet cover. Velvet is regaining its former popularity, imparting elegance to interior items, while velor, a material similar in appearance, but with a denser base and lower cost, is in demand this year in the manufacture of upholstered furniture.
Traditionally made weaving ensures the reliability of the covering and ensures the long life of the sofa.
If you choose an environment in light colors, it is better to also focus on furniture in pink, beige, soft gray colors, but for a bright interior you can consider options in dark colors.
The most popular color for upholstery is mustard; it remains popular regardless of the season, as it goes perfectly with a hint of antiquity.
Natural shades are back in fashion
Natural shades are again at the peak of popularity. These include brown, beige, green, blue. Everything that participates in the landscape of the planet can be safely used. In such an atmosphere it is very easy to relax and truly take a break from the outside hustle and bustle. But keep in mind that natural design should not cause boredom; it is best to use a specific area.
In this case, a sofa in the living room is ideal for decorating. Elegant furniture, natural wood, high-quality textiles, muted tones - you need to build on these characteristics when choosing among the 2022 sofa designs. As a result, you can get a modern, but at the same time noble, beautiful corner for relaxation.
Sofa shell
The time when the sofa played a secondary role is a thing of the past; based on the results of the past seasons, we can confidently say that the sofa is the basis for creating the intended interior.

This year, already recognized styles, such as Chesterfield, modern, with a bright velor covering, will remain fashionable, however, significant competition is emerging with samples of sofa-sinks, also with velor upholstery. This model is special in that it is suitable for a long-term interior.
Unusual carriage tie
The classic carriage tie will never go out of style: being part of classic palace styles, it cannot become outdated. However, she too succumbed to the charm of modern trends and wanted to freshen up a little. On sofas, screeds using the capitonné technique began to appear in a deliberately exaggerated version, often without the use of furniture covered buttons.
If the diamond-shaped carriage screed decides to go out into the world in its original form, then only in full dress in velvet upholstery: it will bring with it so much pathos and gloss that the interior will look extra-bohemian and intimate. In this form, she likes to appear in eclectic interiors, often in rich dark colors. Sometimes, to attract more attention, she will play with the depth of the buttons, the scale of the relief, the color and find something to surprise you with.
Unique examples of upholstered furniture
Sofas created by famous designers remain unrivaled, sometimes striking with their unusual shape:
- Candy model made from knitted 18 pillows;
- the Barcelona model, its history goes back to the 20s of the last century, is ideal for a solid interior;
- The Nami model combines classics with innovation and suits the minimalist office style.
This season's furniture has a certain versatility and is suitable for both an office and a living room and bedroom. In this case, by considering the new Scandi style, you can easily choose a sofa for a French or glamorous interior.
Current styles
The design of upholstered furniture is closely related to interior trends. Popular trends in the new season are Scandinavian minimalism and other eco-styles, as well as neoclassicism and hi-tech. All of them are characterized by practicality and convenience.
Also, the new season promises to return to the aesthetics of the 70s. But not the bright shine of the disco era, but a simple functional environment, light and calm in color. Art Deco is also returning, but in an updated form, without deliberate luxury in forms. For example, there is no massiveness or complex lines in the furniture; the chic style is concentrated in the colors - the trend is sofas and armchairs with large geometric patterns, with a glimpse of gold in the prints.
Design preferences in 2022
Currently, furniture manufacturers are trying to keep up with their times by annually presenting new collections with the help of famous designers in this field.
As previously reported, the main accents of this year are smooth lines and natural colors and materials.

Materials for frame and upholstery
Wood is the material most often used in the production of furniture, which is easily explained by its environmental friendliness, lightness, ease of processing, as well as the availability of analogue materials (chipboard, chipboard).
Quite a large number of models have recently been made with a metal frame, this is explained by the desire to add reliability, but more often metal is used in parts of the sofa that have moving parts.
The most current models of 2019-2020 have the most optimal upholstery options:
- from flock;
- made of genuine leather and eco-leather;
- from quilted fabric;
- made of synthetic fur;
- from velor.
Jacquard, tapestry and microfiber are also often used.

Often, manufacturers combine combined finishes in samples, which not only gives a distinctive appearance, but also increases the strength of the upholstery. The prettiest furniture of this kind is from Italian furniture makers.
Which fabric to choose
As always, first of all we need to consider for what premises and for what purposes our purchase is intended. For example, a sofa made of eco-leather is clearly not suitable for a bedroom, which cannot be said about an office.
Flock
This is an inexpensive material, very pleasant to the touch. At the same time, it is not subject to fading. Easy to clean. It would seem ideal. But such material attracts all kinds of contaminants and also absorbs all odors well.
Velours
This fabric is often confused with corduroy; very pleasant to the touch. Since the fabric is made of synthetic fibers, it is very durable and does not deform.
Velor has a very short service life due to its susceptibility to abrasion during use. Therefore, you should use this sofa as carefully as possible.
Gozhka
A coarse, tacky cloth made from a variety of materials (including linen, cotton, and synthetic fibers). The material is very durable and hypoallergenic. But not everyone will like the specific look and rough weaving.
Microfiber
Faux suede has long captivated everyone with its practicality. The fabric does not absorb moisture, does not wear out, retains color and, as a bonus, is also hypoallergenic. Microfiber has a very rich look, making it perfect for any room.
Jacquard
This is a very durable printed fabric. Most of all, this fabric resembles a tapestry. The fabric looks presentable, is not prone to tearing, while maintaining the originally applied pattern. And does not require special care.
Eco leather
This is the most common material for finishing office premises. After all, the material is not subject to wear, does not absorb moisture, is hypoallergenic and pleasant to the touch.
Peculiarities
However, when choosing a sofa you need to consider:
- frequency of use;
- location of furniture, room;
- air humidity level;
- interior design of the room.
A sofa with a leather cover is considered universal; it can also be easily cleaned when dirty, but in recent years consumers have increasingly given preference to models with fabric upholstery.
Classic linear models
This series of furniture never loses its relevance. Linear sofas are compactly arranged, but only along one wall. Often such sofas are equipped with built-in drawers, additional sections for storing things, toys, and bed linen.
The advantage of choosing is the wide range of products in furniture stores. The disadvantage is the lack of options for optimal location during repairs (especially if the sofa is of significant size).
Color of a fashionable sofa
The most popular colors this year:
- red;
- violet;
- white;
- beige;
- print;
- black or gray;
- consisting of several colors.
Sofa functionality, size and shape
The convenience of modular furniture lies in its ability to change shape; at the moment, for more detailed information, a fairly large number of different photos of 2020 sofas of this design have been offered.
Today, the design of furniture is designed to match the design of the room in which it will be located, so choosing the ideal option for the interior - modular sections - will not be difficult.
Add-on modules can increase or decrease the length of the sofa, which is a useful feature for small spaces.
If the purpose of the purchased furniture is to receive guests or watch movies, then it is worth considering models that are more comfortable and spacious.
Corner sofas of 2022 are deservedly recognized as one of the most fashionable trends; they fit perfectly in both limited and free space, in various price categories
However, rectangular sofas have not lost their relevance and can become a decoration of the chosen interior.
Wooden legs
We're going back to 1960s furniture fashion, so retro sofas with legs are more relevant than ever. They lift the sofa off the floor and give it the desired lightness. At the same time, it is desirable that the rather fragile legs contrast with the massive top of the sofa and its weighty pillows, changing our perception of volumes. The legs can be traditional conical or cylindrical. It is better if they are wooden slanted or straight. Models with straight metal legs are acceptable, but in no case slanted ones with round “legs”-tips. These will turn your sofa into a flying saucer.
Models with STRAIGHT metal legs are acceptable, but in no case with slanted “false legs”. They are easily recognizable by the silver color of the metal and spherical metal headrests, which turn the sofa into a flying saucer.
What is a U-shaped sofa
The U-shaped sofa model is suitable for connoisseurs of comfort, also combined with convenience. The modular design gives functionality and practicality; its two sides can be used for other purposes.
The main positive aspects of this model:
- the ability to create a comfort zone indoors;
- transforms;
- can be used during proper rest;
- uniqueness.
But taking into account all the positive characteristics, it is worth noting that a U-shaped sofa is unlikely to be appropriate in small rooms.
How to choose a sofa
A number of points to consider when choosing a sofa:
- the angles may not coincide;
- it is necessary to take into account the area for placing the sofa, since it can exceed it in length;
- a sofa with polyurethane or latex structural fragments is more practical;
- solid structural elements are desirable;
- models that are too heavy indicate the use of composite materials in the design; as a rule, such samples do not tolerate moisture well and can be a source of evaporation of harmful resins;
- For durability, the mattress must have an independent spring block;
- The upholstery should first of all be easy to clean
- the sofa should be covered on all sides.
Modern technologies
Innovative developments have made it possible to elevate the functionality of sofas to the level of perfection.
Manufacturers of recliners, a type of sofa with many additional options, have achieved significant success here:
- Swivel and folding devices allow you to adapt the sofa to your own needs.
- Heated seats in the lumbar area.
- Control the functions of the sofa using a mobile phone.
- Connectors for connecting a USB cable.
- Armrests, soft backrests, electrically controlled footrests.
They can also be folded out and equipped with a vibration massage function.
Manufacturing materials
The best material, of course, remains a well-dried solid wooden beam of such species as oak, spruce, pine, beech, and walnut. Larch is used in more budget-friendly options, but reliability remains with metal structures.
The comfort of the body position on the sofa depends on the elements of its filling; special attention should be paid to this topic...
Spring blocks are usually used in inexpensive models and have the form of springs fastened together or independent of each other.
The combined type of block is more rigid and has a long service life, but can produce an unpleasant sound, while independent springs are not as durable but have an orthopedic effect.
Foam rubber is the cheapest filler, does not tolerate moisture well, is a possible source of harmful emissions, and can become moldy.
High-density polyurethane foam is suitable for the mid-price category; natural components – coconut fiber – are placed between the layers. Has excellent shock-absorbing properties.
The most expensive is natural ecological rubber latex - it is resistant to moisture, has shock-absorbing and orthopedic properties.
Sofa in the living room: basic recommendations for choosing
Before going to a furniture salon, it is important to study the types of sofas, as well as their features, in as much detail as possible. This will significantly save time in choosing the appropriate option. In addition, to make the process as easy and quick as possible, you should follow a few simple recommendations.
Living room project
Remember that the main secret to the perfect design of a room is careful planning of all its details. Therefore, it is best to make a living room project or seek help from a designer. As a result, you will receive an original solution, which will save you nerves and time. In addition, the project will already have a sofa placed in the most advantageous place. In turn, this will significantly speed up the selection process, since you will know exactly what it should be.
Room dimensions
This is a particularly important nuance, since this is where many people make a serious mistake. Remember that for a small living room, a straight or corner sofa is best. Because they are often not too large and the room will not look overloaded. An additional chair is not required in this case. If the room is very small, take a closer look at models without a couch or armrests.
As for the large living room, a variety of options would be appropriate here. The most popular, of course, are modular designs. They allow you to experiment a little from time to time and move individual parts of the sofa. You can also purchase two straight sofas and place them parallel to each other or next to each other. This solution looks fresh and stylish.
Transformation mechanism
Today, many furniture are equipped with a transformation mechanism. The advantage of this option is the ability to use the sofa as a main or additional bed. But it is extremely important to check the strength of the structure. It is best if it is made of metal or natural wood. Budget options are made mainly from chipboard. However, they do not have high wear resistance, so they will last much less time.
Filler
His choice is always worth paying attention to. It is believed that a simple spring block is best for a sofa. Please note that the springs can be well connected to each other or each of them will be in its own case. The latter option holds its shape well and practically does not deform over time. They also often use a metal snake, which is more intended for soft sofas. However, for many, polyurethane foam will still be a more comfortable option. It is elastic, hypoallergenic, and also does not bunch up and is breathable. It is very important that it has a long shelf life, so it can compete with the previous option.
It should be noted that latex is a high-quality material that has a very long service life, namely more than twenty years. It adapts well to the human body, allows air to pass through, restores shape and absorbs any vibrations. It is used for luxury furniture, so you should not count on low cost. The same can be said about holofiber filler. It is also a very high-quality material that does not absorb odors and does not cause allergies.
Perhaps the most budget-friendly solution is foam rubber. However, you should not count on the quality and durability of such a sofa. In any case, you should choose the filler personally, taking into account your own wishes. But if the sofa will be used for guests as an additional sleeping place or for you as the main one, then be sure to purchase an orthopedic mattress. This will provide you with a quality, good rest.
Important: we recommend choosing sofas with multi-layer filling, as they are considered the highest quality and most durable.
Material used for sofa upholstery
Unfortunately, at this stage many people also make a mistake and are guided by the price range when choosing. We recommend paying attention to the strength and quality of the material, and only then to the attractiveness of the colors. It’s better not to save money and choose a good wear-resistant material.
Leather is the most popular due to its high performance characteristics. However, it has a significant drawback for many - its high price. Quite often, leatherette is chosen instead. This material is visually practically indistinguishable from the previous one. In addition, it is even more durable, durable, but, unfortunately, does not withstand high temperatures. As for eco-leather, it has the maximum resemblance to natural material. It is believed that this is the optimal combination of price and quality for sofa upholstery.
The next option, which is not inferior in quality, is microfiber. It is pleasant to the touch, highly durable and will retain its attractive appearance for a long period. Microfiber is also breathable and insensitive to stains, dust and moisture.
Among the more affordable options is flock. Visually, it is very similar to velvet, quite resistant to various stains. However, it has a significant drawback - it accumulates static electricity. Also, jacquard, which has beautiful patterns, is not too expensive. Pay attention to the tapestry. This material is very impressive, so a sofa with such upholstery will definitely be the main accent. In addition, it is very durable and stain-resistant.
Recently, velvet sofas have become incredibly popular. They look incredibly beautiful, expensive and chic. But, unfortunately, they quickly lose their appearance, so they need to be cleaned and treated regularly. If you have pets, it is worth purchasing cladding with an anti-claw effect.
Color solution
Oddly enough, for many it is precisely this moment that makes it difficult to choose. To make things easier, use your living room design as a guide and decide what role the sofa will play in it. That is, if it will be the main accent of the room, then you can choose a bright color that will look harmonious with the entire color scheme. An alternative solution could be a neutral, pastel-colored sofa in a bright interior. Due to this, the very balance is achieved, thanks to which it will be pleasant for all family members to be in the room. Also, many prefer a light interior in selected shades or a darker solution. In any case, it is necessary to take into account the opinion of the family to ensure that the living room is ideal for everyone.
Budget
Designers often recommend setting a budget for purchasing a sofa in advance. This allows you to correctly assess the price-quality ratio of the sofa, as well as select the ideal option. If you have a limited budget for decorating your living room, then be sure to take this nuance into account.
New items for the season
Mixing interior decoration and furniture created in the middle of the last century is considered a current trend.
The style is called “modern”; its characteristic features are straight shapes, simple geometry and the presence of upholstered furniture in the center of the room.
All other interior items form the background.
In a budget option, corner sofa models are popular.
The most popular new sofas in 2022 are made in the following directions:
- Loft - has a combination of different materials (wood and metal), suitable for an interior with a concrete or brick wall.
- Ascetic style - minimalist furniture, frees up space.
- Eco-style, predominance of natural materials;
- Country - rustic notes;
- Ethnic style – national special features.
- Bionics is a style combining wooden furniture, stone and fresh flowers.
- Vintage style is a classic trend.
Designers have worked hard to ensure that in 2022, furniture in houses and apartments looks as attractive as possible, giving a special unique touch to the created interior.
In the new year 2022, upholstered furniture should surprise with its uniqueness and sophistication combined with comfort.
Modern upholstery solutions
The material used for upholstering sofas is also an important criterion for choosing a particular model.
Designer styles that have taken leading positions this season are eco-style, minimalism and classics. Preference is given to natural materials that do not contain allergens, toxic dyes, or artificial fibers.
The following materials are considered the most optimal:
- Woven cotton fabric. A natural material that does not absorb foreign odors, is sufficiently durable, and maintains natural air circulation. A rather expensive option, but the financial costs are recouped by the long service life.
- Corduroy and velvet remain very popular materials for sofa upholstery. Such luxurious canvases are used both for decorating a classical style and for a rich Baroque interior, for Provence.
- Linen. Just like cotton weaving, it is especially popular among designers. The material meets all safety requirements, allows air to pass through well, and forms a soft structure on the surface of the sofa.
This season, leather upholstery or the use of leatherette have completely disappeared. Black and white contrasts have lost their importance in the world of practical design in 2022. In addition, leather upholstery is not entirely the best option for transformable furniture, which is the leader among sofas today.
